The presence of the Holy Spirit, the love of God, being shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

means that we taste heaven even in the midst of earth.

And as we do that, naturally our desire is that more and more our lives and the lives of God's people

And I want us to notice as we come to this study, two particular things,

that the Lord's Prayer is obviously a pattern for praying.
